Rivers run

Spent ages waiting on a lift tonight in torrential rain and kept myself amused watching wee leaves float along this gutter. Got me singing one of my favourite songs by Karine Polwart with the lovely verses

" This weary earth we walk upon
She will endure when we are gone
While kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Rivers run and rivers flow

You know I don't believe it's true
That in this world there's nothing new
For darling, you have just begun
Rivers flow and rivers run"
